Potash Corp to close two mines for eight weeks

TORONTO Nov 14 (Reuters) - Canada's Potash Corp,
the world's largest fertilizer maker, said on Wednesday it will
close two of its Canadian potash mines for eight weeks each.

A notice on the company website said the Allan mine will
close between Dec. 16 and Feb. 9, and the New Brunswick mine
will shut down between Dec. 30 and Feb. 23. The company said it
was an inventory-related shutdown "consistent with Potash Corp's
practice of matching supply with market demand."
